She was born 37 weeks and was super healthy and strong. Ha ha, we're having a boy and again looking at 37 weeks. We'll see how whimpy he is. That is funny though. They're inducing me at 38 weeks because of gestational diabetes and a few other complications. Love your blogs. First check today so I'll see if I'm dialated, but I'll probably be at this point 50 percent effaced dialated to a 2-3 and I stayed at 4 for about 5 days until my water broke. I didn't feel contractions (I thought I was having braxton hicks up until I was dialated to a 7. My water broke at a 4-5 and I had her about 7 hours later. Feeling the same with this baby. Only time (and a check) will tell though. Not long now and your baby will be here. Ha ha, but her daddy is the most impatient man I know so if our son is anything like our daughter, he's not waiting. My daughter looks everything like me, but has her daddies impatience, attitude and the biggest appetite I have seen for a 23 pound 2 year old. She's so much her own self though. If this boy is the same I'm in for a hand full. I'm so excited for you two though. Hope to see pics. I love your blogs. Ha ha, I had no whimpy white boy (or in my case girl) syndrome.

You made it to 38 weeks. I laughed about the "wimpy white boy" syndrome. My son was born at 37 weeks and I have to say he is anything but a wimp. Had no problems with the nursing either. Then again, as my DH says, "he's ITALIAN." Maybe that's it? :) I am a few weeks behind you in the journey. Our son is due in August. Wishing you the best. Yeah! You made it to 38 weeks.

I was 70% effaced, 1cm dilated on a Monday and just after midnight on Wednesday I was a mom--it was nuts. Even my OB was shocked. Our son did indeed have jaundice, trouble feeding and weight gain issues in the beginning, but he is now 12 weeks old and 13 lbs! You just never know! I applaud you for having sex this far along! I made it to about 25 weeks and haven't done it since *sigh*. Someday, though, I will have energy again! So excited for you both! My white little boy was born at 35 weeks.

I had a personal experience with it. I went into labor on my own with my little boy at 36 weeks and he had the wimpy symptoms and ended up in the NICU for a week. It was a stressful time for us and I am very glad that you have made it to 38 weeks so the risk of that happening goes down significantly! Oh and my sons diagnosis was failure to thrive which I found out later he was more classified as having "wimpy white boy syndrome"! I had to laugh at the name!

I was suprised that it didn't stretch at all during my pregnancy. Seriously, it looks the exact same (minus the fact that it's on a slightly pudgy postpartum tummy). Also, be careful with benadryl after you deliver. It can cause letdown problems with your milk. I have a tattoo of wings that goes across my lower belly/hips.
